i read today about a housing estate in the bijou northern town of rochdale that had 84% unemployment.
a cafe owner gave some thought to what would attract a better class of clientele to his establishment.
£.4.70. full english breakfast with complimentary can of stella.

19:5274715In the name of Three Holy Drones, Howard! 84% unemployment! How does one explain that! Do you want me to do some job-searching for that area, I know just where to look, and find stunning results on tens of thousands of job-vacancies 'in the UK'.
